BNB token has fallen in the face of negative press surrounding Binance.
The BNB token price has fallen over 17% in the past week, plummeting to its lowest mark since June 2022. The price of BNB token dipped to $221 but has since recovered above $230 to $236, according to CoinMarketCap.
BNB token has performed poorly in comparison to other major coins and tokens in recent weeks. Bitcoin has been positive over the last 3o-days at 0.1%, while Ethereum is down 3%. Compare that to BNB, down 13% in the last 30-days.
Binance has faced a spattering of negative press in recent weeks. The latest negative token price action comes behind doubts regarding Binance’s Proof of Reserves and a recent influx of withdrawals.
“We passed this extreme stress test because we run a very simple business model – hold assets in custody and generate revenue from transaction fees,” a Binance spokesperson told CNBC in a Dec. 16 statement.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange has also faced questions this week about its ability to potentially repay over $2 billion tied into the FTX Collapse. As an early investor in FTX, Binance exited its equity position last year, but now that decision is in the crosshairs.
BNB token has yet to dip below $200 in the latest run down. The token’s lowest price in the last year was $184.54 in June 2022. It is also down over 50% from its 1-year high of $571.55.
Binance positions itself as the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and crypto-asset infrastructure provider with a financial product suite that includes the largest digital asset exchange by volume. The Binance platform aims to increase the freedom of money for users and features a comprehensive portfolio of crypto-asset products and offerings, including trading and finance, education, data and research, social good, investment and incubation, decentralization, and infrastructure solutions.
